Intel HEX - Start Linear Address Record

Madava Dilshan Vithanage over 15 years ago

Hi there,

I'm working on a bootloader that uses a hex file.

What does this row do?

:0400000508000131BD

It breaks up to these:

: Start code
04 Byte count: 4
0000 Address
05 Record type: Start Linear Address Record
08000131 <--- is this a start address?
BD Checksum

Does it say the execution start (IP) address is 0x08000131? My main program range is from 0x08000000 to 0x0800261.
Or should I discard the line altogether?

Thanks.
